WHEE. HAPPY BDAY JASMINE! ((: 29/7

okay. i had an entire week of sabbaticals. FUN! we got to cook different cuisines, french, jap, italian, thai and had a field trip to hyatt's hotel mezza9 restaurant! it's ranked world no.1 (: really posh and nice. ty and me have made a pact to have lunch there 10 years later after we have earned our own cash. well it will come really soon.. ehh shall not elaborate more on sabbs.

im owing zhenglaoshi lots of hw. she's really nice, not getting angry after i've procrastinated handing in my work for such a long period of time. so sorry. i shall finish them this weekend! week 6 isnt/wont be/will never be a nice week for me. there is going to be lots of sia presentations and workshops and tests. fine we'll always get over them and have everything done even after we complain.. soo let's hope for the best.

urghh im rather confused over what im trying to say in this entry.. yeaa wish that there'll be nicer things to talk about in the nxt one. hmm singapore's 40th bday is coming! ((: nice.

i like the "today in history" book compiled by moe. there're works, drawings and writings of singapore students on what happened on their birth date in singapore's history. yeaa. err i shall surf the net to find out more on harry potter and the half blood prince! =D i've finished reading the book! it's definitely sadd to realize snape betrayed dumbledore. maybe it isnt true.. okayy.. BYEE.

wells. too much to recount in these weeks.

last saturday, had our bsp camp group luohan's outing. hm as i wished, we watched initial d (: hehh was vehh excited. didn't wanted to turn up actually. was rather exhausted and weared out after going out for the entire day at j8 after youth day celebrations. haha but i missed being wif my group, so i still woke up at 10 in the morning to make it to orchard. was so unlucky. missed two buses. hp batt dangerously loww. was sweating from head to toe. running late.

AHH. it was like if they cldn't decide the venue in time to inform me, i will have to search the entire orchard for them cos i wldnt be able to contact them without my hp. LOL very funny. then when i was about to reach and seeing that my hp batt is really running out, i called meijie and just in time she said "...we're going to ps.. [beep beep. SILENCE]" HAHA fortunately. i took the bus straight to ps and arrived half an hr earlier instead. was waiting for them at the entrance when they all were xia dao after seeing me appear in front of them.

waited for the rest to turn up before entering the cinema to watch the movie. overall it was rather nice though jay's acting wasn't really good. jay's relationship wif anne was sweet and the car racing parts were vehh exciting. the music and songs by jay really rocks and brings out the emotions and plot best. BUT the ending was disappointing and abrupt. i thought the story was entering its climax when "the end" appeared on the screen. ._." the misunderstanding wasnt cleared and jay just agreed to joining the racing tean and it ended just like that? irritating.. hate such cliff hangers. there's sure going to be a second part to this movie.

had lunch separately as it cant be help. there were too many ppl around at ps and there wasnt a suitable place at all for us to settle down and eat together. well so we ny girls went to mos burger tgthr when linchen joined us and the rest came not long after that. went to the arcade to watch people play. rather interesting. it was dunno when since i last stepped into an arcade. so deprived yaa. hehe. the guys later played some games at a machine which looked cute and kiddy. arthur was pro laa while hongshen was struggling and refused to give up. HAA. but he was expert at the car racing game. finally we had to go and everyone left separately home. hm it was quite fun and great to be tgthr again. hope that there can be another gathering again. ((: HEHH.

------------

well i broke my record of sleeping late this week. i practically didnt sleep at all laa. was piaing chem sia when i realised it is already 5.30am. HAHH so absurd. i faster saved my stuff and sent to my own account cos i thought that i wldnt be able to survive two days without sleep. but the documents were all soo big that by the time i finished sending, it was reaching 6 and i have barely laid on my bed enough before i was being wakened up by my daddy. felt like dying in school. procrastinate my presentation AGAIN. i feel so lousy. suan le. my things are piling up. was barely able to focus and think clearly in school la. felt very uneasy. i broke my promise of sleeping early. =(

had been rehearsing almost everyday for FOA [Festival of Arts]. well today (saturday) it was the REAL ACTUAL DAY. we performed our best for our last FOA in nanyang. well i think i will elaborate in the next post sometime later. but i just wanna say that i love nanyang. the auditorium, the performing arts groups, choir (:, the backstage crew, the AV club, the teachers, mr tang. HAHH they all did so much for the success of this performance, leaving us fond memories of our nanyang life. i will miss everything and including my seniors. they had been the choir's pillar of support all these while. i really hope that we can do them proud by bringing the choir to greater heights with our voices. im really afraid that we sec threes' sound will not be able to make it. so sorry. we will jiayou for your sake and the choir's. sec twos, must continue to excel and do better. sec ones, all the best and work harder.

this FOA performance was the last performance this batch of us, NYC'05 will ever going to sing together again. love you. (: going to miss everyone. sighh everything will always have an end and what that is left behind will always be prints and traces of these wonderful events, imprinted in our hearts and minds as fond memories...

i was surfing bloggs just now. came across chongchen's blog with the britney's "lucky" as his bg song. HAHH i was immediately reminded of 6K'02. i remembered us singing this song at nat's house at our gathering 3 years ago. i thought all was just a coincidence. heh he really put up this song cos he remembered this too.

"haha but it reminds me of year 2002 november.. when i was at my last 6k gathering dat year held in nats hse. lol we had a karaoke session altho no one sang.. but i most vividly rmb got this song. haha dis song reli brings out the beautiful memories i had, when days seem to pass so carefreely,"

so true. i miss those days. but i guess we will have to treasure the times we are sharing now with our dearr friends and classmates. cos someday down the road, we will be looking back at this now and thinking about the exact same things we are feeling right now about the past. that song is kind of sadd and catchy and simple to commit to memory. these reminiscences are so precious. i wldnt want to forget my past, my friends. in our life, friends come and go. howw i wish each and every one of my friends can just stay in my life, around me forever, and our relationship will always be as close as ever and never changes. HAH but it will never happen.

i miss 6K'02.

she's so lucky.
she's a star
but she cry cry cries in her lonely heart thinking.
if there's nothing missing in my life
then why do these tears come at night?

hm. okay not exactly feeling much better after having so much fun today (friday). we had youth day and racial harmony day celebrations! (: shava dance, funfair.. furthermore, for practice todayy we sang fairly well and ms lim was rather pleased with us! hehh i felt so much glad and relieved once again. and so we were let off early ((:

whee! went to take neoprints with ty, wy and bao at j8. opps and the first one was disastrous cos we were unfamiliar with the machine and we panicked and when it came out we were screaming away... ppl were staring at us laa. 4 girls sitting on the floor, some laughing some crying. all because of the atrocious neoprint. AHH.

we chose the photos we didnt want instead of the pretty ones we took and decorated.

well, we still kept that neoprint anyway to serve as a remembrance and a beautiful memory of our neoprints-taking exprience ._." so we took another neoprint but too bad we din manage to take an artistic picture of our painted nails. the neoprints were really nice this time. (: sadd. cant show it here cos im using my dadd's laptop without a scanner. (btw, my com broke down AGAIN. it's really serious this time. wana kill myself cos i wont be able to do my SIAs.)

we shopped ard for ty to choose her bday present. i find it really weird and ehh bu xi guan to let the bday girl shop for her own bday present while we pay for it. we are sure to have a certain budget for her present and it's rather akward for the girl to choose her own present not freely and randomly but also having to note the price of her present herself. soo..

aiyaa i just find it a rather unpleasant experience for both the buyers and receivers la. just my opinion though. i personally wldn't like to shop for my own bday present wif my frens. i wld appreciate alot as long as they do remember my bday and just simply buy something to show that they do care. yepp hint hint. >< i shall grab this chance to wish her HAPPY BDAY here!

happy birthday, tingyi! smile always (:

after that, everyone was already dead beat and yearning to go home. the sky was already dark and yeah our hands and legs were aching. yepp talked on the mrt with wy and bao while ty left us from j8 to take a bus home..

okayy. let me talk about our FUN youth day celebrations.

funfair
it was rather funn this year round cos i contributed quite alot by making juggs of MILO! but it was a failure laa. i thought the milo i made was very thick and nice but it turned out otherwise. sighh so sorry to those customers who bought ice milo from us but turned out veryy diluted. we didnt mean to cheat your money! i added so much milo powder and condensed milk laa. dunno why it still came out like that. sighh.

we had half an hr to prepare before the start of the funfair but we did not have hot water! hence i was really panicking n going abit crazy for not being able to get the milo ready in time. i spilled milo on myself many times. my white school shoes were stained with milo too. from head to toe, i have MILO. urghh and my hand was practically trembling after carrying and transferring the jug here and there. it was quite heavy when filled to the brim. the others were preparing the bubble tea with the cups, syrup, ice and pearls.

hmm we were selling bubble tea and ice milo! the SHAVA SHAKERS (: our class was rather united. the publicity group also went all out to scream and shout slogans and stuff liddat to attract customers.

hahha but i think our stall is the dirtiest and erhh luanest. cos milo was spilt everywhere. oreo cookies crumbs were also on the floor and tables. hehh we raised $350! it was quite a success but the money we put in for all the materials and ingredients shld be quite alot. nevertheless, it's for charity laa. yeah quite meaningful afterall.


after doing for quite some time, wy, bao, ty and i once again went round together to use our tickets in the funfair. hehh bought lotsa food and stuff liddat. wanted to support my 203 juniors who came forward to ask me to buy initially but found that they had sold their things out! hehh there were hair spraying, braiding, nail art, body art, tattoos and games. and so it was then when we had our nails painted! ((: was forced to spray my hair lightly pink by yueling. she was pulling and dragging me and squeaking. had to give in to her. =P

we helped packing and cleaning up at the stall after the funfair and we played with the ice! "let's see who can have their hand in the bucket of ice for the longest period of time." wahh the bucket was full of melting ice and once you place ur hand in. it goes numb. numb. numb. VERY cold. freezing. you seemingly feel ur blood capillaries severed. it was immensely icy cold and after a few seconds, there will be an intense pain until you cant stand it anymore.

i held in there for like 20 over seconds only. bao is crazy. she cld endure for a minute plus. wahh will die. hehh we ARE crazy. torturing ourselves. carried the bucket to have it emptied at the drain wif ty and after washing up we went back to class and had a few photos taken by ty and bao. usual pose: covering my face.

had some out-of-point, sleepy talks by the SC in the hall. well i did try to pay attention but failed terribly doing so. stoned and dozed off for quite a number of times... quite an anti-climax ending to the youth day celebrations.

choir practice
ms lim came. we sang pretty well. la cucaracha and como tu. i actually find that im loving these 2 songs more than ever after singing so much. we sang "when you believe" which is a really nice song. Ashira~ (:

ms lim told us about the choir olympics nxt year at xiamen. it's really such a prestigious event. she recounted her past experience and it was fascinating and inspiring and so tempting for us to join this competition. but first nyc have to be up to standard first laa before we even confirm the number of people who shld be able to make it. if we are really good enough, i'll be willing to make sacrifices to allow myself to go for this.

hmm talking bout choir. now the sec 4s should have already left us but they are staying with us for the time being to give us support, mentally AND physically still. AHH i cant imagine choir without them. they are the choir's voice and pillar of support. i guess i've relied too much on the seniors. well, i have faith in the sec 2 batch this year. they are really good. sooner or later their voices can definitely reach the standard of the seniors or even better. sec 3s, must buck up! ((:

i love our sec 4s. sighh but they will still have to leave us sometime someday. they are already staying beyond the supposed period and they are even putting in so much effort to sing well in foa for us too. NYC, JIAYOU. coming week, we'll have to pia all the way for the whole week. rehearsals and practices. let's hold on together and do our best on THE DAY.

hehh ppl! must come to support in FOA. how i wish i can be in the audience for just once to watch the entire performance. it must be really enriching and entertaining and worth it! (:
__________

im falling asleep. shall just end here. pray that my com will recover real soon. (:

GOOD NIGHT.
[signing off, 3am]

hahh.. i feel so cheated... AGAIN. life's so meaningless. everyday, reached home. eat. pia SIA. bathe. eat. pia SIA. sleep. now im all alone trying to do up my chem SIA. eh it's like i'm the only one in the group. why not do individual SIA instead?

i shall not name the people who abandoned me to do all these stuff all by myself. HMM let me just pretend that ive lost my voice for tmr so that we need not present cos we have nothing for our presentation. she was supposed to prepare the website and the powerpoint and i will be the one arranging and tidying up all the info and research i have done and include all the info into our website and ppt.


FINE and now she left without telling me. she did not leave any msg or email or wadever. she did not send me the ppt. she did not tell me how im supposed to add the info into the website when i dont even know the host and the address.

ARH. i just hate such irresponsible people.



falling back. down. down. down into the deep abyss..
can someone tell me what to do.
well.. there's always sunshine after rain.
but i can only see the dark clouds concealing the sun once again.
